Brick Town, a town within a storybook, is in peril! Evil forces have descended upon the land and kidnapped the mayor's daughter. And it just so happens that you have ESP. Thus it descends upon you - and your gun - to save Brick Town.
Esper Dream , released on February 20th, 1987 for the Famicom Disk System, isn't based on medieval times, but rather on a fairy tale storybook of five chapters, each with a distinct setting that also contain sub-dungeons. Battles are started when the player runs into various pairs of moving footprints on the ground, leading to separate enclosed battlefields where the player can use their weapons or ESP powers to defeat enemies. Winning battles will increase the player's character's experience points, eventually leveling them up when they reach certain experience point totals.
